SUMMARY:Christopher Rauschenberg\, Gathering: A Photographer’s Collection
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Rauschenberg\, Gathering: A Photographer’s Collection \nJuly 26 – November 23\, 2025 \nJordan Schnitzer Museum of Art\n1430 Johnson Lane\, Eugene\, OR 97403\n541-346-3027\nWednesdays 11am – 8pm\, Thursdays through Sundays 11am – 5pm \nGathering: A Photographer’s Collection presents a wide-ranging selection of photographs from the personal collection of Portland\, Oregon based photographer and curator\, Christopher Rauschenberg. Over five decades\, Rauschenberg has compiled a truly distinctive archive of photographs encompassing a wide array of themes\, styles\, uses of the medium\, and range of subjects and content. This important resource represents a diverse mix of international and nationally emerging and established photographers. \nRauschenberg typically acquires photographs directly from the artists or from non-profit community-based arts organizations exhibiting or representing their works. \nRauschenberg has also traveled extensively and participated for decades as a highly regarded reviewer of photography portfolios at international gatherings of specialists who utilize and support opportunities for working creative photographers. \nIn Gathering\, one will find a wealth of individual points of view that\, when engaged\, may broaden each of our own visions: whether those considered perspectives are personal\, familiar\, social\, cultural\, political\, or spiritual. \nChristopher Rauschenberg reflects on his building of the collection: \n“At the core of what I’m doing is acquiring prints directly from photographers. That’s where I get my real satisfaction in collecting. With photography\, one literally sees the world through someone else’s eyes\, and we each have a different way of looking at the world around us. Having seen the work of thousands of photographers\, I’ve had a great many opportunities to discover new ways of seeing. That has really been the primary enrichment of my life\, and I am excited to share that with you through this exhibition.” \nGathering: A Photographer’s Collection was curated by JSMA Associate Curator of Photography\, Thom Sempere.

SUMMARY:Fritz Liedtke's Crossroads at Trinity Cathedral
DESCRIPTION:Fritz Liedtke’s Crossroads at Trinity Cathedral \nJune 28-August 28\, 2025\nFirst Thursday Reception and Artist Talk: August 7\, 5-7pm\nTalk begins at 5:30pm \nTrinity Cathedral\n147 NW 19th Ave\nPortland\, OR 97209 \nArtist Fritz Liedtke Explores the Terrain of Faith and Transformation in Crossroads \nIn his new exhibition Crossroads\, artist Fritz Liedtke explores how belief shapes identity—and what happens when it begins to shift. Through three new series—Sacred\, Lost\, and The Weight of History—he reflects on how faith helps us endure\, opens us to others\, and transforms us through loss and transformation. \nThrough a fusion of photography\, encaustic\, and mixed media\, Liedtke constructs richly layered works that often borrow from the visual language of traditional religious iconography\, while reimagining them in unconventional\, contemporary forms. His materials and methods are as textured as the themes themselves: wax\, gold leaf\, photographic prints\, paper\, and embedded objects create surfaces that feel at once ancient and intimate. \nThese works do not offer easy answers. Instead\, they ask searching questions: What does it cost to cling to a belief? How do we love people different than ourselves? When belief begins to unravel\, what might we lose\, discover\, and become in the process? How does anyone endure discrimination\, oppression\, displacement\, and still carry on — even today? \nIn Crossroads\, Liedtke maps out a deeply personal—yet universally resonant—journey through doubt\, reverence\, memory\, and meaning. It is an invitation to pause\, reflect\, and perhaps recognize a bit of our own story in the layers. \nJoin Fritz for the First Thursday Reception and Artist Talk: \nFritz will talk about the process of making this work\, the stories behind the 3 projects\, and give a guided tour with lots of time for Q&A. \nAugust 7\, 5-7pm. Talk begins at 5:30pm. \nTrinity Cathedral\n147 NW 19th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97209 \nOpen Viewing Hours: \nDuring the week\, viewing times are: Sundays 8:30 am-12:00 pm; Tuesdays–Thursdays 10:00 am-3:00 pm \nThe show is located in the beautiful\, historic Trinity Cathedral\, in NW Portland: 147 NW 19th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97209 \nEnter through the central courtyard to the front door and ring the buzzer. The host at the Welcome Center will let you in. \nLearn more here: https://www.fritzliedtke.com/b…

SUMMARY:A Preservation of Character by Megan Sinclair
DESCRIPTION:A Preservation of Character by Megan Sinclair \nAugust 6-September 28\nOpening Reception- First Thursday\, August 7th\, 5-9pm \n\n[things/found] Atelier\n1704 NW Johnson Street\nPortland\, 97209\n(503) 512-9719\nwww.thingsfoundatelier.com \nWednesday\, August 6 – 12-7pm\nThursday\, August 7 – 4-9pm\nFriday\, August 8 – 11am-4pm\nClosed August 9-15\nSaturday\, August 16 12pm-7pm\nSunday\, August 17 12pm-7pm\nAugust 18 and beyond\, we’ll be open\nThursday-Friday-Saturday 12pm to 7pm \n\nA Preservation of Character \nAn exhibition of black/white analogue photography by Megan Sinclair \nPortland\, Oregon— A Preservation of Character will be the grand opening exhibition at NW Portland’s newest gallery space\, [things/found] Atelier. The public is invited to attend the opening reception and meet the artist on First Thursday\, August 7th\, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. \n“I long to see the world as I once did. I long to feel the world as I once did. \nIn A Preservation of Character\, I use the act of removal to incite vulnerability. I remove my clothing\, a physical layer of protection. I remove the hair from my head\, a totem of gender. I attempt to let go of protective behavior\, expression\, and thought. What I feel shields me from danger in the outside world has become a part of who I present myself as. \nHere\, I am neighbored only by textures\, shapes\, and light\, leaving me to observe and interact with myself. Who am I without these defenses? \nThis is an exercise in honesty\, and a longing for innocence. These are intimate moments of self-reflection\, and are presented to the viewer out of a need to share unguarded experience.” \nMegan Sinclair is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in analogue self-portrait photography that delves into the interconnectedness of body\, mind\, and environment. Through her work\, she uses vulnerability and image making as tools for processing and navigating personal trauma. Megan constructs in-home sets\, curating intimate spaces where distractions are minimized and self-expression feels safe. \nA 2020 graduate of California State University\, Sacramento\, with a Bachelor’s degree in Photography\, Megan’s projects have since been showcased internationally. Her work communicates emotional narratives and invites viewers into a dialogue about resilience. She currently resides in Oregon\, where she continues to create work that encourages a more open conversation of the human experience. \nwww.megansinclair.com \n[things/found] Atelier is half art gallery and half art/vintage store attached to the studio for local Portland artist\, Angel O’Brien. The gallery and store are open Thursday through Saturday noon-7pm\, as well as by appointment or whimsy.
